Come on guys it is not 1972 anymore.
Is it worth seeking a consensus here? I used to top-post. Then I heard a few opinions that bottom-posting was preferable, so I switched. Now it seems that top posting is preferred. I don't have particularly strong thoughts on the matter, but bottom-posting seems somewhat logical to my (likely) skewed way of thinking, as anyone who reads the post from top to bottom will first read the post to which I'm replying, thus giving some context to my response. As long as I delete previous posts, or if the initial post is lengthy, snip judiciously, not much scrolling will be required, and possibly (just possibly) my posts will make more sense. However, whatever the majority wants, I'll do. As long as I agree with them <g>. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
